I just bought this. I am impressed with the potential, but totally unimpressed with the documentation and live rendering of the program. Many effects seem to be totally unrendered until you export the file to quicktime - making you fly blind as you create. Also the tutorials mention file commands and buttons that don't seem to exist. The tutorials mention File > Render again and again, but no such command exists - making you guess a bunch where the command has been moved to.
* They need to either update the documentation or the program to match each other.
* They also need to do at more of the rendering real time. There might be an optoin for this, but we have searched for a while and have not found anything.

I downloaded this for free, but now it will not let me enter the serial number and get started.
I tried contacting support but it just cycles me through endless ticket windows that go nowhere.
Then I remembered every time I have had to deal with SmtihMicro I have come up against the same issues - the impossibility of getting useful support.

Of course I upgraded to version 5 and this application is getting ever more incredible. Now you also have support for basic 3D movement and 3D models.
Flash output is vastly improved (smaller files, looks much better).
Also the whole interface became scriptable (LUA) which makes Moho very expandable, there are scripts for anything, deforming shapes, tools, dialogues etc.
Again, don't get intimidated by the very different approach to animation this application takes. Though taking time to get used to the interface is very efficient and does make sense.

Great tool for animators ... especially considering price. Some quirks, but one of the most creative animation programs out there right now. Main drawbacks are the drawing tools (limited gradients, poor palettes, renders often required for visual feedback) and very little audio support.
5.0 features a new interface, much better Flash export, import of textured 3D objects, and a lot of small enhancements. The demo is a complete copy of the program with watermarked output and B&W Flash export which makes it really easy to get a feel for Moho before you by it.
The developer is very responsive, and there's a small but friendly community. Well worth a look!

The interface is quite different from most other animation vector based programmes and takes some time to get used to, but once you get the idea its an extremely powerful tool. Considering the low price it's incredible that not every animation artist is running out to get a copy. This app will pay for itself with the first job you can use it on.
I've just made an animated TV ad a few months ago with this application and there would have been no way to do it in the given time with any other application but Moho. Get this you won't be dissappointed!

This is a fun program to use and it's a great addition to Flash. It takes a few minutes to get the hang of it, but once you do, there are lot's of things it will let you do. The program is very stable and surprisingly fast considering it's done in Java.

I bought this app when it still was at version 3, and first found the learning curve high, because it did many thing differently than other vector/animation tools.
Once version 4.0 came out, I gave it another try, this time I had to create a TV commercial with silhouette like cartoon animations and I thought Moho might be the right tool. I have been a big fan ever since. Moho is just so incredibly powerful, while actually being easy to use (just different).
This software costs you almost nothing (90$) yet it is very powerful, the support from the Moho developers is just great and the next version will even come with some very cool 3D features.
WAY TO GO! Big thumbs up for Lost Marble, Inc. Also don't forget to check out the Yahoo mailing list and forum for Moho. The developers often post to it. Very helpful.
